Cab- engine 440; gas is fresh b/c installed new fuel pump about 3 wks back.
Drill did not labor; I forgot about that point. Significance of this action?
I'll pull oil pump and check relief valve.
Will follow #6 & 8 primed at TDC.
Curious about packing oil pump with grease. How does this help? Not being a dick, but want to add to knowledge base.
If drill motor did not labor you either have a cracked oil pickup (doubtful at this point based on the engine having pressure recently), plugged oil pickup (again doubtful at this point), relief valve stuck wide open dumping pressure which reduces drag on drill motor, or large leak inside engine. Engine has been running so maybe you blew a lifter out of it’s bore (a cylinder without working valves/s will cause more drag to turn over by hand or starter).
Packing the oil pump is not needed, you had oil pressure recently. A full oil filter and oil in the pump is all you need to get pressure.
